Wedding Ring Box
A ring box I made as a wedding gift for the daughter of some close friends. Spalted curly maple, (book-matched top inset) and sides, bloodwood for the corners and top, with walnut for the interior box. The corner “columns”… individual pieces fit into overlapping box joints…took a while. I do a lot of taping/pre-finishing on my projects before I assemble them, and that certainly payed off here. Once again, my horizontal belt sander proved itself as one of my favorite tools.
I was pleased to find out that the box now sits as a centerpiece on the newlywed’s fireplace mantle, so apparently I did good.
Y’all have a great day!

If I didn’t laugh at myself, I’d lose my mind.

I just finally figured out how to use my dovetail jig. The craftmanship on here is some of the finest I have seen.
Just beautiful Bob!

Nice! The couple really should be happy with it!

Haha! The gangs all here…with a couple of extras too!
Thanks guys…and a shout out to Pottz for immediately stalking…I mean “following” me as soon as I signed up and welcoming me aboard…Corelz for giving me the heads up and inviting me into the Craftisian fold.
-Pottz…thanks for the nice comment! Think I’ll pass on the box swap this time…but there’s bound to be another one. I’m the kind of guy that needs a lot of lead time…and a lot of “git off yer arse and make something” commentary which I’m sure you’ll be more than happy to provide…; )
-Corelz…Glad you like it…and especially glad you connected me here. Looks like a great place to be, made all the more so with your friendship. Thanks buddy.
-Splint!…Lots of details indeed….so many little pieces and fat fumbling fingers to maneuver them into place. I sputtered so many epithets while making the darned thing I had to get the local priest to exorcise the shop. Freaked the poor guy out with my head spinning 360’s…
-Rick…no dovetails here…just box joints extended beyond flush to create spaces for lots of annoying little pieces. And you’re one up on me…I don’t even have a dovetail jig to know how to use!
-WildWood…”Interesting” is exactly how I’d describe it. The maple is gorgeous but feels kind of out of place with the contemporary design. Truth, I’m not sure how I feel about it…it’s definitely a stretch. I made it with the couple in mind…both set designers in Hollywood and amazingly creative…and “contemporary” people. So yeah…I was a bit unnerved and much relieved when they loved it!
Eric…Thanks for the welcome here. I haven’t connected your name to your work yet, but I’m definitely looking forward to doing so. The credit for “presentation” goes to the wedding photographer. I was blown away when they sent me the arrangement photo!
Black Lightning…Hey buddy! Been awhile! Yep…They really are, and even better they’re an amazing couple so I’ve no doubt they’ll be together and enjoying it for a long, long, time….assuming all those little pieces don’t start popping off right and left… ; )
Sorry ‘bout the text wall…I’ll try to restrain myself in the future… ; ) Cheers!
